Ash borer, maybe?? #808058

I'm hoping I don't have them, found this pretty bug right after the news article I read about ash borers. I don't *think* it is, but am not sure, and would like another opinion.
Thank you so,

Hi Dee,
Thank you for your question and your concern regarding the emerald ash borer. Luckily, that is a golden buprestid and not the emerald ash borer. The emerald ash borer is commonly seen as the shiny, green adult in June and July.
Best,
Alex Gorman, OSU Extension Forester
Thank you! That is a relief!
Take care,
Dee
